Ist ein Grundproblem nicht genau, dass ein demokratisch-inklusives Verständnis von Eliten, wo sie zu finden sind und sogar wie entsprechende Kompetenz "verteilt" ist, eben nicht auf Ökonomisches zu verengen ist? Es scheint mir kein Zufall zu sein, dass es eben gerade die "ökonomischen Eliten" sind 🤷‍♂️

"American science had not, by the 1990s, figured out that race is the meaning people make of biological variation. Instead, they frequently (if not typically) equated race to human biological variation. You could be against racism and still be racist without knowing it."

"there's the way he paints some contemporary peoples/cultures as isolated, atomized, and frozen in time, untouched by others. “Still” hunter-gatherers, he says, about people who have had complex histories including complex social hierarchies which he seems to only grant “modern” civilizations." 👇

Yes, there are actually very few that seem to even be interested anymore in working on such solutions. Be attentive to those around you belonging to this group and let them know earlier than late how much this is valued! 😘

Größe der Schilder und Kongruenz der "Ideen" sollte zu denken geben.

Once early-day criticial feminists talked about "Tarzanian", harmful imaginaries of the deep past. There we go again 🙈👇

Würde einfach AI reinschreiben oder es direkt von AI machen lassen und es ganz unten auflösen, als Metakritik 🙈 (what a world)

Haha nice, well-taken.

Trenchant. 👌

Sie meinen das unexplizierte Implizite und Assertierende, angeblich Logisch-Folgende (was ich als "trap of autoimplication" bezeichnen würde)? Ich sehe da nur sehr wenig Argumentation ehrlich gesagt.

Was für eine Farce. Die FAZ und auch alle, die meinen sie ständen hier auf der richtigen "Seite" sollten sich schämen. Albanese ist einfach nur Courage. Und was für ein Framing einfach. Zudem: nicht mal ein kleiner Anflug von Selbstkritik? Sehr komisch aber symptomatisch.

mE sehr wichtige Analyse 👇

Around summer hopefully I would say!

Early sneak peek of an upcoming #Sidestone book on archaeological #types and #typologies I am co-editing with @felixthehauskat.bsky.social and Sébastien Plutniak. All chapters underwent open peer-review at @pciarchaeology.bsky.social - stay tuned. 🧪🏺

👇 👇 As others have already noted here, some of the intellectual alliances woven into the Epstein ecology are not coincidental, "hard" views of human nature never have been (Slobodian) - something perhaps especially archaeologists should pay acute attention to

The European Association of Archaeologists Executive has worked hard to bury this result inside a long document. But we're going to make this triumph of compassion, common sense & demand for transparency known to all. Help us by sharing. @archagainstaparth.bsky.social @blacktrowel.bsky.social

"Put another way, the speciation and evolutionary experimentation already evident in what is by now a very extensive hominin record makes it clear just how much the unfortunate Mayrian legacy still hinders our ability to make proper sense of our biological past." 🔥

🤣🤣🤣

😂 Avoiding "anthropologists" certainly makes your life easier and avoids complicating it, hence why avoiding them has been a majority strat for decades now.

Together with Krist Vaesen, I have written some words of caution about #replication in lithic analysis. We fear that the way the issue has been taken up in #Palaeolithic #archaeology can narrow the scope of disciplinary inquiry 🏺🧪🦣
